Baked Italian Cauliflower

Not a big fan of veggies? Or have someone in your house that revolts when their plate includes something colorful? I can’t say I have that problem in the CB kitchen.. I am very thankful for my Fireman’s limited taste aversions.

He’ll pretty much eat anything I put in front of him, with the exception of canned tuna. (Make note that he’ll eat the raw varieties at our favorite sushi place..)

Number two. Before lunch and dinner, set out a veggie plate or tray for the family to snack on while you are fixing the meal. Keeps them busy and out of the pantry searching for anything to spoil their dinner.

Include fresh, in-season veggies that you know they like along with some new ones- even the one’s not previously cared for. After all- it is a proven fact that it can take up to 10 times before a child (or adult) will really determine if they dislike a food.

Be sure to make the plate colorful and appetizing with bite-sized pieces and continue to introduce the said ‘hated’ foods to them without question.

Number three. Let the veggie-revolter pick out vegetables at the market. Kids, especially are curious. So letting them choose a new vegetable each week to try might be more successful then if they had not had a hand in picking it out.

These three are great. I love these ideas. Another suggestion from moi? Try preparing your vegetables in different ways.
